1. Apply Early
Though the concept looks fairly simple , students do not understand how HR process works in a company. Recruitment involves lot of effort from the companies. They get thousands of applications for tens of openings and companies do not have budget to have many HR’s go through each resume and hand pick the good ones. So as soon they give an advt for opening, they are getting the resumes which they need in a day. So make sure you apply as soon as you see a post. Though this might not apply for every company, it is always suggested to apply early before the company stops taking applications.
To apply early always keep an eye on the job portals for information and shoot your resume as soon as you find an opening.
2. Customize your resume
Majority of the companies do not in take freshers for a particular technology, rather they train the freshers depending upon the business need. When some companies do mention the requirement as Java/.Net,it makes sense to customize your resume accordingly. Highlight the technology and projects related to it in the first place in the resume.
3. Upload resume in every job portal including Crplindia
You never know which employer would choose which job portal for profiles. So the simplest thing you can do is to upload your resume in all the famous job portals,including some international portals . I personally got some calls way back by doing this way, so no harm you try this too. I did upload my resume in more than 100 portals including job portals and company career pages.
4. Network,Find a Referral
Many people do not realize the power of networking and assume it is very trivial. But how many do believe when i say (You SHOULD be knowing him, but still If you do not know : Founder,Wikipedia) has asked an admin job aspirant to mail him the resume over a social networking portal. I guess this is the best example for now. Go to conferences meet people and develop your network. LinkedIn should be the places you live, not Facebook.
Following this steps would enhance your chances of getting an Interview call and i know many of the freshers are hungry enough to convert the first call as an offer
Your life is what you make of it, so please do not make stupid excuses for not getting a job or an interview call for that matter. Research & find out what it takes to get an interview call and how to turn it to an offer
